German Comment on the Political
Horizon.

lBy Angio-American cable 10 tho Dispstch.l
BERLIN, February 1.-THE North
German GazettG says: 1.-THE Liberla
press continues to circulate the urbi ri
0rJi, the falsehood that Europe lives in
condition Of most profound peace,
and that contrary statements are only
mannuyres to intimidate poor electors
and influence them in favor Of the Sep
tennate. In support Of this assertion
reference is made 10 the declaration
of General Won Schellendorf when no
introduced the army bill in the Reich
stag. The political horizon was totally
different then. IL has since become
clouded solely in consequence OF tho
attitude of the opposition, whose un-
patriotic conduct carses the conviction
in France that Germany is weakened by
internal divisions, and that the mo-
ment to attack Germany has arrived.
General Won Schellendorfs wordswhen
uttered were quite, appropriate to the
situation, but he would scarcely repeat
them to-day, the opposition having con
jured up the danger Of war, which viii
only disappear when France sees that
Germany does not allow unpatriotic
politicians 10 lead her-that ia, when
majority is returned to the Roichstag
determined TO protect the empire"

Cattle Dying by Thousands.


ST.. PAUL, MINI, February I7.-H.
+. Simpson, postmaster at Albright,
Mont, writes as follows: 1.-The cattle
ON the ranges are dying by the thou
sands. Our winter has been compare
lively mild, but we have not had any
chinooks, as We generally have. l
have already lost 80 per cent. OF my
cattle. A large number of native steers
have been driven into the bottom 10y
the storms, and are dying like flies.
For days the range cattle have been
coming into the valley by the thou
sand, wandering back and forth be-
fore the storm till they drop in their
tracks" A stockman OF eighteen years
experience writes from Billings: "This
is The hardest winter that ever expe-
rienced. / estimate my cattle loss at
80 per cent. now, and think it will
reach 70 per cent.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
Spirited Discussion in Commons
Over the Rules Of Procedure.


(By Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, February In the House
of Commons tonight William Henry
Smith moved that the discussion of the
rules Of procedure have precedence
over all orders of the day. He said
that the prolonged debate on the adj
dress in reply to the Queens speech
showed the need of putting some limit
to speaking, which had become prolix.
II was now the sixteenth day of the de-
bate, and restraint was needfJu Ill or
der to enable the House to carry on
practical business and save Parliament
from self-destruction through the alb
negation of its duties.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said
the opposition did not desire to place
obstacles in the way of the progress of
business. He hoped the matter OF pro-
cedure would not be made party ques
ton.
Mr.. Labouchere objected TO giving
q blank check of this sort to
the Government, thereby permit
ting them to monopolize every day
with a discussion of the procedure
rules. He did not think the Govern
ment was able to effect good legislation.
The session ought, therefore, in his
opinion, to be made an educational ses-
sion. The best thing the Liberals
could do was to occupy the time in
making speeches. Laughter.
Henry Richard, member for Merther
Tydvil, Wales, Niberal,) moved an
amendment that day be granted for
debating the Welsh disestablishment
bill.
The motion was carried by vote of
261 to l58.
Parnell asked the Government TO
concede a time 10 discuss his proposal
for admitting Irish leaseholders to the
benefits OF the land act Of 1881. I'm
der Mr.. Smiths motion, he said, it
would be five weeks before any Irish
question would have a chance to be
heard. He therefore moved that the
rules of procedure be not considered
before the Government discloses the
nature of their proposed legislation for
Ireland. Cheers
Continuing, he said he was not dis
posed to surrender the interests of Ire
land in order to give the Government
precedence for their procedure pro-
posals. The motion had been sprung
on the House suddenly in defiance
Of the fact that there were no
precedents for such an Interrupt
ton of the debate on the address.
The affairs of Ireland were in too
critical condition to be thus put aside.
The Westport Board Of Guardians had
just received notice of the intended
eyictions of 1000 persons, while Lord
Cork was asking for police to assist In
further eyictions. Was it at such 4
time as this that the Irish members
were declared from bringing forward
grievances
Mr.. Smith said he thought the pro-
ceedings OF the last three weeks were
sufficient TO show how useless IL was
TO go further into the Irish question
until the rules OF procedure were
settled. A division was taken on Par
nell's motion, and it was rejected by q
vote Of 242 against 107. The announce
ment of the result was received with
cheers by the Conservatives.
Mr.. Smith announced that the
Government would begin giving pre-
cedence to the rules of procedure on
Monday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, February IT,
The arrest of Elisha Greig here last
night revealed a plot to commit arson
and murder. On Sunday night the
residence of Mr.. Jesse Nolan, farmer
in Davidson county, was burned, and
the inmates of the house, Miss Matte
Orment and Mrs. Hamlet, barely
escaped cremation. The fire was sup
posed to be incendiary, and last night
Greig made confession of having
set fire to the house. He said
lac had been hired by farmer
neighbor, Jim Bullejack, to burn
the place. Bullejack had planned,
he said, to burn Miss Orment, who had
refused him in marriage. The plan
was to catch her if she escaped burn
ing and murder her They took rope
along to drag her to the river and throw
her body in. After they set the fire
both cot frightened and aroused the
ladies, who were alone, Mr.. Nolan
being in Nashville. The men ran off
before the ladies, who had barely time
TO get out, could see who they were.
Greig was arrested on suspicion, and
confessed as above related. Bullejack
has disappeared, but officers are after
him.

CHICAGO, February 1.-THE Nous
